Takedown: Inside the Fight to Shut Down Pornhub for Child Abuse

The New York Times, by former New York Times journalist Nellie Bowles, takes a look at how some of the most educated people in America lost their minds, and how she almost lost them, too. As a Hillary Clinton voter, a New York Times journalist, and a frequent visitor to local gay bars, Nellie Bowles blended right in with her neighbors and friends in San Francisco, until she began to wonder if the progressive movement she knew and loved was really helping people. When her colleagues pointed out that asking such questions meant she was “on the wrong side of history,” Bowles did what any competent journalist would do: she began investigating herself. The answers I found were stranger — and funnier — than I expected. In Morning After Revolution, Bowles offers readers an opportunity to witness the absurd drama of a political movement gone mad. With a wry account of her experiences attending a multi-day course on "Toxic Tendencies of Whiteness," following social justice activists who run a "cancellation entertainment company," and trying to please the New York Times' "disinformation czar," she deftly reveals the comedic excesses of a movement that has moved from the fringes to the core of American life. Morning After the Revolution is a brilliant and insightful work of humor, a documentation of a state of collective obsession preserved in time. It is an unmissable debut work by one of America's most distinguished female journalists.
